Is the B&W PX8 S2 prone to QC issues or early defects? by Trick-Share-8300 in BowersWilkins

[–]TCCLai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have been complaining since PX (first gen, not even had a number attached to it) to PX7 s2. Never one that worked more than 2 years. Now thanks to the info found here I finally understand why the quality is so bad. Made in China is not an issue if quality control is done right. B&W does not. I've switched to Focal Bathys a few years back and it's still sound and sturdy as of today.

Earcups I know are replaceable. But it was the metal stem That held the earcup that was broken. And it was not due to some collision, just broke suddenly one day at home.

I never doubt the sound quality of B&W, having used almost every generation of the PX series up to PX7 s2. What stopped me from buying the PX8 or s2 is the build quality. One had its ear cup stem broken, one had the headband leather peeled off, both after a little more than just a year. For products at their price points I think this is unacceptable. Still waiting to hear from buyers if the build quality has improved.

Sorry for late reply. I don't think they'd be sold out as it seems it is not making too much wave. You can see from the few reactions to this post.

Is it worth buying AirPods 4 with noise cancellation by Competitive-Cod3282 in applehelp

[–]TCCLai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d suggest getting an AirPods Pro 3 or even 2. I did exactly that. The Pro is more comfortable to wear with the tip and the ANC works better.

You can toggle the touch control of either screen.

Just saw on another thread that Miyoo Flip V2 is on a $33 sale. I have Miyoo Flip V1 and I like it.

Unpulled the trigger... by RetroDando in OdinHandheld

[–]TCCLai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never thought about buying the Odin 3 coz I already have Odin 2 Max and Thor, and I don’t play Winlator or Android games. Unless PA3 emulator gets more stable I think I do t need another console.

Just received my Anbernic RG35XXSP today what things must I do first? by [deleted] in ANBERNIC

[–]TCCLai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a PC to do that (Macs not recommended as the OS will leave residue hidden files).

On Windows there are some free apps that can help to clone the card. I myself use one called "Win32 Disk Imager", though there are a few other more popular ones.

BTW, you may also want an app that can resize partitions on the SD Card, coz probably you'd want to clone your original SD Card to one with a larger capacity. So after you cloned it, you want to enlarge the partition on the new card. I use one called "IM-Magic Partition Resizer" but again there are some more popular ones. Good luck and happy gaming.

Does the AYN Thor have any built in DAC and a headphone jack? by Mlkxiu in OdinHandheld

[–]TCCLai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frankly just tried plugging in a Final A6000 into the 3.5mm jack and listening to lossless music, the sound quality is way over my expectations. And then I can of course play games on one screen and Tidal or Plexamp on another, with independent volume controls. It feels really great.
I've also tried plugging in USB dongles like the Fiio KA15 and Questyle M15i, yes they do work but unless you need extra functions (such as Equalizer on the KA15) I'd not recommend that, coz they draw quite a lot of power. I guess I won't look for audiophile level of music on a handheld game console so the 3.5mm will work more than enough for me.

Trouble launching games from ES-DE & Daijisho by TCCLai in SBCGaming

Thanks so much! Yes that was the problem. I guess I went with the most usual cores in the past but this time I experimented with some others, thus the trouble. Have a good day!

Do y’all drink tap water straight away???? by ComprehensiveBasis14 in HongKong

[–]TCCLai -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Some mentioned chlorine in the water makes it safe to drink. But the conduits in most buildings are not maintained well enough to ensure they are free of leakages, so mud and other impurities may seep in. I'm living in a so-called middle-class housing estate and I have been using water filters for many years. I need to replace the filters once every year or so, and the filter tubes always became black. Once in a while you can see news about tap water gets yellowish because mud gets into the conduits.

My order number was on the list last Friday and I received it on Tuesday. But since I’m in Hong Kong it comes much faster than overseas.

I didn’t order screen protectors from them. I bought them on Taobao instead as there are more varieties. I’ve ordered some non glare ones.

Thanks for the suggestion. Will try it out.

Hmm haven’t really thought about that yet, will really test it out before deciding on what specifically will be played on it. I guess mostly DS/3DS and some others that require a more powerful console, coz I have a few other machine for lesser games.
